A) VIDEO: The Importance of the Handshaking

http://www.ehow.com/video_2279832_importance-handshake-job-
interview.html

TRANSCRIPT:
Let's talk about a few of the basic rules of the interview process. Some of the basic rules you want to
look at are surprisingly, quite simple. One; eye contact. When you walk into that room, you want to
be making eye contact with the interviewer as much as humanly possible. That doesn't mean the
stare down, but that means also don't look away. Be confident in who you are. Then the next phase
 of this interview process is critical, and that's where your hand comes into play to where you actually
do the handshake. Most people, sometimes they feel if they're more feminine, masculine, if they have
a soft hand shake, or if they have a firm handshake. Each one for some reason seems to identify
them. Here's what we found in the past in the professional world. That is you need a firm handshake.
Firm means that I'm not going to squeeze your hand and break your knuckles, but it also doesn't
mean that it's limp and soft. It's a nice firm handshake. Generally, does consisting of a one or two
pumps and then remove your hand. It really becomes that simple. Let's just take a moment. You walk
into the room, you have good eye contact, you walk up to that person, you stick your hand out, very
nice to meet you, you sit down, and you had that hand out and you're off and rolling. That's one of
the first of the basic rules of a good interview process.

B) VIDEO: Questions to Ask During a Job Interview

http://www.ehow.com/video_2279835_questions-ask-during-job-
interview.html

TRANSCRIPT:
The other thing on this is that on the question standpoint, you want to ask great questions. I've had
people that I've spoken to over the years that have said, I feel awkward asking questions. They
almost seem too direct and to the point. Talking about hours. What are the hours of operation? How
much are you expecting me to work? Are there benefits with this job? What exactly did you mean by
that? These are the kind of questions that people should ask, but sometimes they're afraid to. I don't
use that work afraid very often, but people are wanting the job and they're afraid to ask something
that could indeed cause them grief and kind of get the job. Number one, that interviewer is not there
to be mean to you. That interviewer is trying to find the best person for this position for their
company. It's up to you to have that confidence that when something is asked, you give a great
answer, but remember, if you're on an equal status, you have a right to ask questions also. Have
questions prepared. There's not a thing wrong with coming in with your brief and having your notes
out. When you sit down, you open your brief and you put your notes here in front of you and your
questions. As an interviewer, I would be thrilled to see you coming in prepared. So don't feel that you
have to shoot from memory on everything. You certainly can utilize notes. It just shows that you are
concerned, that you are interested, and that you're a professional at what it is that you're doing

C) VIDEO: How to Answer Job Interview Questionns

http://www.ehow.com/video_2279852_answer-job-interview-questions.html

TRANSCRIPT:
Let's take a moment and talk about some of the types of questions that you could be asked during
the interview process. Sometimes the questions are misleading because we're taking them
personally when they're really talking professionally. A good example would be if they were to say to
you, tell me about yourself. You're sitting there saying, well I like to go hunting on the weekends. I
like to go camping and take my family fishing, and I really enjoy that. Well, great answer, but that's
not what they're asking. When they say tell me about yourself, they are asking you to tell them about
yourself in this job environment. They want to hear I enjoying coming to work with people that I get
around and I have a good time with. I like an atmosphere of friendliness. Your company being a
company that specializes in public relations and customer service, well this is the environment that I
like and it would work well for me to work well in your environment. That would me in line with what
they're really asking when they say tell me about yourself. When they ask about strengths and
weaknesses, again, they're not asking you for you to really tell them I'm very good at this and I'm
weak at this, but in essence, they may be asking you about how that would apply to the work force,
to the workplace where you are actually going to go to work. One of the simplest examples is you
might say, I was told early on in my career that listening was a weakness. I didn't listen very well
because I was always ready to answer whatever it was they were saying. The good news was they
were right and I figured that out, so what I've done now is I've taken a weakness of not listening very
well. I've taken classes on it, I've read books on it, I've done studies on it, and over the last few years
what I've determined is I really wasn't a good listener, but now I really trained myself to understand
the importance to listening to the person before I try to answer.
